Jennifer Lopez, who has remained steadfastly silent about her split from husband Marc Anthony this summer, broke down on stage this weekend while performing a song about past love.
The 42-year-old singer-actress was performing Saturday at Connecticut hotel and casino Mohegan Sun’s 15th anniversary celebration when she broke down in tears and reportedly ran off stage during a performance of her song “Until It Beats No More.”
“I’m going to sing you the last song I wrote about love,” Lopez said to the audience after an acoustic version of her hit “If You Had My Love”. “A lot has changed since then.”
Following the performance of that song Lopez launched into “Until It Beats No More” as dancers who looked like Lopez’s past loves P. Diddy, Ben Affleck and Cris Judd performed choreographed dances.
During the performance the P. Diddy look-alike danced with a woman donning a dress similar to Lopez’s famous slit-down-the-middle Versace gown, while the Affleck doppelganger danced with a woman wearing a green gown similar the one Lopez wore with Affleck to the 2003 Oscars.
According to People magazine, the final dance closely resembled the one performed by Lopez and Anthony on “American Idol” in May.
“I took a trip down memory lane,” Lopez said, and then began to sob on stage.
Lopez was able to make it through a few more songs, but was “out of it,” according to Radar Online.
The “American Idol” judge has had a string of high profile romances throughout her career, with her seven-year marriage to Anthony, with whom she has twins, ending abruptly in July. Since their split she has been linked to actor Bradley Cooper.
Jennifer Lopez was swept away with emotion while performing over the weekend, and the superstar told Access Hollywood what brought her to tears.

"After
I sang the song, I'm standing there, and I realized that I did bare a
little bit of my thoughts in this song. I also acted it out, kind of,
for the audience. The way they received it was very touching," Jennifer
explained.
"I think that they felt what I felt, which is, you
know, I'm just a girl, just like everybody else, trying to find my way,"
the 42-year-old star, who split with Marc Anthony in July, continued.
